I've never seen a 4.3-10 used on a vertical feedline run of 7/8" or larger.
7-16 is standard. 7-16 is arguably more more rugged than 4.3-10 due to its
larger size. 4.3-10 is used on smaller-size cables in situations where you
might typically consider using a type N connector but where you need low-PIM
performance, which is why such a connector on a non-PIM-rated cable like
RG-8 likely wouldn't have much demand in the commercial world.
